FCW being shut down by WWE (Maybe not, now)

[Rysenberg]

Officials from WWE told Bright House Sports network today, which airs the FCW shows in Florida, that they are closing down the promotion and will not be doing anymore television after the final three shows taped last week air.

WWE officials told Bright House Sports that they are folding the promotion, closing the gym, and moving everyone to Stamford, CT for the time being until they figure out what they are going to do with developmental.

Those in WWE also heard news today and were given the impression the company was going to do developmental out of Conneticut and possibly open a second developmental territory.

That's a shame for FCW, this new show will be WWE network I presume.

You look at the guys that came out of FCW, and it's hard to blame WWE for getting rid of it. They haven't accomplished jack outside of Sheamus and Barrett.

But getting rid of it for the sake of WWE Network... Really?

I'm not sure if they are, just a presumtion.

I agree that it hasn't achieved much, but seems a bit harsh on FCW, getting involved with them and then just ditchin the show.

It coudl be great. It states that many of them will be on the RAW/SmackDown roster. I wouldn't deem it an unsuccessful organisation though.

Why is the 'PPV & Events' section used for FCW closing down? Learn 2 section

and it is a terrible organization, a complete & total failure. The only guys it 'produced' were already going to be successful without their useless stints in FCW ala ADR, Swagger, or Barrett. They developed literally no talent.

It's lasting legacy will be giving guys Blue names, giving them a tan, and a generic move set. Burn in hell FCW! Burn in hell

Chris Hero's promo was put here last week so presumed this was the place to put FCW stuff.

I should have researched. I never realised WWE basically created FCW in the first place - I thought it was an independant place that WWE linked with then closed after a couple of years. But if it's WWE's business then fair enough.

If it means for a better quality product then, I agree, burn in hell FCW.

HHH might just revive real wrestling legends into the business. He fired a guy with little pro wrestling intelligence, excellant!

Didn't they end the partnership with OVW years ago? In fact isn't OVW work with TNA now?
